Part 2 Granada and the Sierra Nevada. The bike is a Specialized Tarmac carbon road bike with Ultegra, compact cranks and a 32 tooth on the back. Rented from http://www.sierranevada.cc. There is a minor glitch in that it is delivered without helmet, but this is soon sorted. Again, the bike is mechani...

Inspirational report Raph. Congratulations on the result.

I believe that the ride leaders are Dougie and myself. We make ourselves known at the start.

Paul

Adam W - Apparently I would be a 'Slow Fasty'
Andrew M. Either a very fast middie or a very slow fastie (ie slower than Adam)
Ben C. - "Ditto"
Paul A - Fast middie, when I can stay upright.

Thanks. Pm'ed

I'll double check tonight, but I have a worn chainring, 46t I think, need to check the BCD (may even have the bolts); new chain, still in the box (with missing link), a few brake calipers with TT brake levers (may be damaged from last installation) or a top bar brake lever. Other bits you may be in...

I bought a steel track frame and assorted other bits at the Vintage Bike Show with plans to build it up into a fixie, and am looking for a few parts to finish it: Chainring 144 mm BCD, 1/2 inch pitch. Something like 44-46T Chain to suit Chainring bolts to suit front brake caliper 1" quill stem....

My turn as ride leader on Sunday’s C28s ended in an ambulance ride to Sutherland hospital. I was sent home about 3 pm, sore and bandaged, but no broken bones. Bike damaged, helmet destroyed. The cause of the crash was a touch of wheels in the bunch, which bought down the rider in front of me, and I ...

Yep, first Sunday of the month is skin suit and funny hat day.
Big turnout this morning, I was there by 7:30 and still only got no 86, start at 9:26.

I did 41:00, about a minute off my best, so happy enough with that.
Mark Lacey went under 40 min, riding Eddy Merx style;road bars and Garmin.

Ride Report. 210 km. 4040 m vertical. Too far, too hot, too many hills! Anyone who's done this knows it is a challenging ride, even the flat bits are hilly. But it is through beautiful countryside, with splendid support from volunteers, and I feel, more relaxed and low-key than some of the other spo...

Need to be in Narabeen at 12:30 for lunch.

Is there any more kit on the way?

I need an XL jersey, but Velofix don't have any, they tell me not all of the order was delivered.

I booked a double room in Bright over the Australia Day long weekend, but now wont be riding.
So if anyone is looking for accommodation for the alpine Classic, PM me and i'll send the details.

If I don't get any takers i'll cancel the booking.

Paul

paul

This makes you think.
One rider sued the other after a crash and was awarded $1.7 M.
I assume that the CA insurance would cover this for members.

Hi Amy,

You enter from the MWCC home page.

Try again mid week.

Good luck on the day.

Just got some bad news from the doc.
Bone scan shows a fracture my hip from that fall.
So six weeks on crutches:(

Thanks Peter. Worked treat.
It was well out of line, so needed a bit of judicious bending.
Now changes sweeter than ever.

Great, thanks Peter.
I'll be in touch.

I fell off recently and the bike landed on the right hand side. The impact was severe enough to knock the forks and brifter out of line. That has been fixed, but I'm finding the gears hard to tune, so suspect that I have bent the derailleur hanger. Is there an easy way to test this and then get it b...

Best wishes to Anthony.
Is there any practical help required that the club can provide?

About 8:30 am. Rider in DHBC kit heading north over Iron Cove bridge and Gladesville bridge.

Hi,

I plan to follow up with the Sydney City Council about the surface on the bike path.
It's ridiculously slippery when wet.

Paul

Yes. Wet and wild.

My hip is OK, bit of road rash and bruising.
Just enough to allow me to spend the afternoon on the couch in front of the footy.

I don't usually commute by bike if raining. Going out in the morning is ok, but donning...

I'm racing this again on Sunday.
Any others going?

Paul

I think I was the only DHBC member there on Sunday 5 Jan.

New TT bike felt great, it is a Riddley frame with the bits from my old Scott.
Also learned that after a PB, the next month's ride is free.

Not sure why it came off, over many years it has been on the roof for thousands of km without incident. I think it was a combination of the strong winds, the wide rims, and carelessness on my part. It certainly was distressing see it in the rear view mirror, bouncing along the road. The components a...

Thanks all for the reports and pics. The ttt was as hard as anything I've done on the bike, mosty spent trying to hang onto Mike's or Mark's wheel.

Lovely morning for road racing at West Head.

Looking at the finishing photo, we are going to have to run a course for DHBC riders about how to be in the drops during a sprint.

There is a North Sydney rider going no-hands, at least the dhbc riders have their hands on the bars.
